To: André "Dadou" Pasquet, singer and maestro from Konpa group Magnum Band
Subject matter: End of year
Dear Dadou,
This letter comes in our place, because right now no one, no factor, really knows where to find you. When you left, the party was still in full swing. The shouts of joy, the shrapnel of joy completely suffocated the instruments. We realized your absence when a false note came to disturb our eardrums.
Suddenly, the audience, like one man, stopped singing to listen, to understand. You have always fooled us with your fair and intelligent notes, your refined transitions, your variations based on these diminished and increased chords, of which only you really know the secret.
We stopped dancing. Your replacement wasn't up to it and the other musicians immediately realized that they had to stop, because without you, harmony had run away. The party was just beginning: we were only at the beginning of the program. We hadn't danced yet Freedom for fratern Yo, OK beauty of the South, Okap, Or pi la, Truth, Jehovah, Grann, Ayiti... The list is long, and the concert can't stop right now.
We want to sing with you, with the Magnum Band, to drive out demons, overcome fear and night, and nourish love and brotherhood.
Dear Dadou, we hope that this letter will come to you and that you will take the time to read it. The end of the year celebrations are approaching and we have chosen you to animate the evening of our New Year: a way to close, on bright notes, a year of horror littered with corpses. Only the softness of your guitar and the tremolos of your raucous voice can appease us, if only the space of an evening.
In the hope of getting a positive response from you, we are now committed to meeting with you to discuss the modalities of the programme.
While thanking you in advance, receive our distinguished greetings and our anticipated thanks.
